Here for the Party

March 10, 2019 by Kelsi

Today we had a tea party. Everyday there is a different themed enrichment day just to make sure we are shaking things up! As you can see on our March daytime enrichment calendar there is always something new or fun going on. For really popular themes we might do them more than once because the chimps really enjoy it!

Though the party was for everyone to enjoy, Jamie thought it was her tea party. As you can see Missy came to join Jamie and Jamie discretely pulled the tea party away:

Burrito foraged for tea, lettuce, and big nuts:

We stuck a few nuts in the window for an added challenge for Jamie:

The sun came out and the chimps spent some time in the Greenhouse!

This photo is blurry, but you can see Missy and Burrito wrestling on the top platform in the Green House:

Later, I found Annie and Missy napping and grooming:

In the afternoon it was pretty quiet in the Chimp House. So, I went to check on the chimps. I found Jamie laying in a nest incorporated with boots and a big barrel. She was cleaning a troll toy and enjoying some peace and quiet so I snapped a photo and quickly left.

I hope Missy found another tea party setting to enjoy. Love the photos of Burrito enjoying the goodies. Great photos of the day, looks like everyone enjoyed the sun and fun (even if Jamie did try to kibosh the tea party concept). I bet you caregivers have fun preparing the monthly enrichment calendars.

Kelsi: I loved the title HERE FOR THE PARTY … it sure did match the first photo. And thanks for photographing the monthly calendar. You people sure put a lot of time in care of the Chimps, not just food and shelter but for their mental well being.Jamie was very naught for running off with the whole party–who but Jamie would think to do such a thing?
